I am using the Ubuntu 20.04 operating system. The best and recommended Operating system for web hosters is Cloudlinux which is a paid operating system that also enhances the functionality of cPanel.

If you want to buy a Cloudlinux pro license at a cheap rate, then email me.

First, log into your server with any SSH client then update the packages and reboot the server.

[Ubuntu]
sudo apt update -y && sudo apt upgrade -y && sudo reboot

[Cloudlinux/AlmaLinux/Rocky Linux]
sudo yum update -y && sudo yum upgrade -y && sudo reboot

Execute the following command to change the hostname for all operating systems.

sudo hostnamectl set-hostname yourhostname

Now edit the hosts file and also change the hostname there.

[Ubuntu]
sudo apt install nano -y

[Cloudlinux/AlmaLinux/Rocky Linux]
sudo yum install nano -y

sudo nano /etc/hosts

Add the following lines at the end of the list.

127.0.0.1 yourhostname
serverip yourhostname

Press CTRL + X and press Y and press enter to save changes and exit the editor

Now we will disable the built-in firewall system and network manager to let the cpanel use their own firewall system.

[Ubuntu]
sudo systemctl stop ufw && sudo systemctl disable ufw && sudo systemctl stop NetworkManager && sudo systemctl disable NetworkManager

[Cloudlinux/AlmaLinux/Rocky Linux]
sudo systemctl stop firewalld && sudo systemctl disable firewalld && sudo systemctl stop NetworkManager && sudo systemctl disable NetworkManager

We will now disable the Security-Enhanced Linux or SELinux on the server.

In the Ubuntu operating system, SELinux is not installed and is disabled by default. If you are using Cloudlinux/AlmaLinux/Rocky Linux you have to disable the SELinux. You can find the instruction in the description.

sudo nano /etc/selinux/config

Change SELinux=enforcing
To SELinux=disabled

Press CTRL + X and press Y and press enter to save changes and exit the nano editor

Now we will change the default operating state of the operating system according to cPanel requirements and reboot the server again.

[Ubuntu]
sudo systemctl isolate multi-user.target && sudo systemctl enable multi-user.target && sudo systemctl set-default multi-user.target && sudo reboot

[Cloudlinux/AlmaLinux/Rocky Linux]
sudo systemctl isolate multi-user.target && sudo systemctl enable multi-user.target && sudo systemctl set-default multi-user.target && sudo reboot

Now let's proceed to the installation of cPanel. Before proceeding you must have a valid cPanel license to complete the installation successfully.

If you want to buy a cPanel unlimited accounts license at a cheap rate you can contact me through email.

Now install the Perl and screen package and run the installation through the screen session.

[Ubuntu]
sudo apt install screen perl -y

[Cloudlinux/AlmaLinux/Rocky Linux]
sudo yum install screen perl -y

Install cPanel using a one-line command

screen -S cpanel
cd /home && curl -o latest -L https://securedownloads.cpanel.net/latest && sh latest

This process will take approximately 10 - 30 minutes depending on your server speed.

Now access your cPanel using the link provided in the installation logs and follow the on-screen instructions.

I will be right back after the license installation.
